Veterans Day
151 young men and 21 young women from New Ipswich served in WWII. Hazel Moore Balch created a collection of their photos. We are in the process of cataloging them into our database.
Veterans Day in New Ipswich
There were a number of local town events for Veterans day in 2026
- November 10th – Breakfast at Mascenic High School
- November 11th – Dinner provided by the Patriotic Committee and Fire Department
- November 12th – Breakfast at Boynton Middle School
When I was reviewing Veteran photos from past events I was reminded that Ray Somero had died earlier this year. We missed his company at the Firehouse supper.
